Our key note speaker at the WA Branch of Australian Fabians AGM will be Michael Hilliard. Michael is a Defence and Economics analyst specializing in the defence policy of Russia, Europe, and the former Soviet republics. With over a decade of on-the-ground experience as both an analyst and journalist, he has reported from some of the world's most tumultuous warzones and has received numerous awards for his reporting and analytical work. In his consulting role, Michael also advises on strategic policy for the UK, US, and Australian governments.
